Dear Jim, Laura and Heather,There are not enough words to tell you how sad I am at the loss of Nancy. I will always remember her warmth and kindness to any one who needed help. I’ll always remember how kind she and you Jim were to my son, John Paul in his great times of need. God Bless you All and thanks for sharing in my life.

Aunt Laura, I was so sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. Although I didn’t see her that often, I always remember her showing kindness to my family and I. I could tell the type of person she was by the sheer excitement Thomas, Hannah, and Kevin showed before going up north to visit her and your father. They always looked so forward to it and were always ready to tell me about all the fun they had up there with her. She was a very special person. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love,
Amy Carswell
